Is this correct? I'd rather they'd have said "URL" is a technically obsolete but common colloquial term for http and http-like URIs. Identity of identifiers is tricky because you have to try to distinguish between identifiers which accidentally of transiently refer to the same thing, versus those where it is built-in to the definition of the scheme (eg. the port 80 and domain name canonicalisation rules).
